Taking my punditry from a bloke at the coal face, Taylor Adams.

Appearing on the Marngrook Footy Show this week Adams was being quetioned about the teams seeming inability to click and gel into a unit.

Adams said the team is, �only two or three quarters away from hitting some good form and playing some consistently good footy�.

So, as long the Pies can keep in touch with the Saints at half -time they should be able to hit their stride in the second half and roll on to win by, say, 35+ points.

If class and personal meaning anything we should win this quite easily.
But as we've seen attitude means more
Saw enough last week from several players to suggest we have a lot better attitude than week 1
I think Cloke Moore Howe Fasalo will be to potent for the saints backs
Our midfield reeks of talent and class but has been sadly beaten both games this year. Look for a marked improvement on the back of some confidence from last week. If we can at least break even in the midfield in clearances and contested footy our backs won't be under constant pressure like weeks 1&2
Reid will be better for the run for sure
I like our chance here
Pies by 28
Side note if results go our way we could finish the weekend in 7th or 8th place depending on %
